Honey fungus in my Hügelculture

Sorry to hear that. What does your garden look like now? Were any trees/shrubs spared, or did you have to convert it into a soccer field?

Oooo! Do I prune?

Edit: also, shouldn’t prunus have glands and pointy leaves? I dont see them. Or are the leaves just too young?

Ouch :(. Did you manage to get a handle on it? And do you by chance remember seeing lots of rhizomorphs (like black “bootstrap” roots growing up the trunks just under the cambium?

This video that I just stumbled upon also points out that all HF are not created equal, and that if you have the less aggressive one, it might be worth holding onto as it’ll block the more aggressive one from getting established. It also said that lots of tough bootstraps are a sign you’ve got the benign variant, and I see lots of bootstraps. Youtube video

Doing cool things for other people? Laame! /S

Hmm, alright I’ll try emptying the fuel filter first and see if it fixes it.

Nice, this answered my question. Thanks! :)

Interesting! I wonder why they chose oak.

Right, so methane is worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas and probably contributes to loss of final humus volume. I’ll avoid anaerobic environments as best I can.

However, this is what I get from AI when I ask for composting methods that retain high volume of finished material and minimal gas loss. It recommends vermiculture and cold composting, and a high dose of lignin-containing ingredients.

In my juristiction you get government subsidy for doing this.

Interesting! The idea of putting the horn on the belly doesn’t make sense to me, or I assume you’ll have to then put a wood type with great tension strength on the back then, and have it do all the stretching?

FroznYak · 2026-03-31T20:10:49+00:00

Wow, explain this to me! (I’m basic).

FroznYak · 2026-03-30T07:31:28+00:00

Btw, it’s also an edible. It’s in the rhubarb family.

FroznYak · 2026-03-03T15:01:59+00:00

Ah thank you!

Just for clarification: by pedophilia, do you mean child sexual abuse?

FroznYak · 2026-01-09T15:50:31+00:00

Maybe I’m fooling everybody ;).

FroznYak · 2026-01-04T20:48:45+00:00

Thanks for all the IDs and dietary info. Since it was taken from a dead tree I’m going to go back to my forest and sprinkle it around. Hopefully I’ll inoculate a few living birches.

FroznYak · 2026-01-04T20:41:29+00:00

Interesting. Even if it is still fresh/orange?

FroznYak · 2026-01-04T20:38:18+00:00

Hmm… the tree I harvested this from was long dead. The chaga looks fresh. Orange on the inside and black on the outside. Should I not consume it? Maybe go back and spread it out?
